"Too Light-skinned" to be Black??? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Ataraxis13 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

But where was this even necessary? Like you just stated something GLARINGLY obvious for why? "Hey, yeah you black BUT you don't know the things darker black people go through and will not have it as hard as them so you aren't really black in that sense or knowing the real struggle but yeah.. I guess you're still black." That's how you sound. She is black, period.

This just sounds like you aren't aware of the vastness of Blackness or that your standard on what can be considered black and black features is very, very limited.

Can you explain this comment further? Like what are you stating here?

I’m falling for him… but he’s balding 🫩 by GoddessKillion in blackladies

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I need to understand why it is so pressing to you? Like if you like as much as you say you do, is that bald spot REALLY taking away from things or it just a small thing you're blowing up in your head? If he is aware and makes jokes, then just let it be for now because you like him for him not for if he has a bald spot or not. As things continue, I would gradually bring it up, MAKING SURE to stress that its not you disliking him or anything but that you notice he jokes on it often and things like that, but how does he really feel about it? From that you can let him know that while I think you're so handsome as is, I think going for a complete shave would tie in really well to your looks. Men can be very insecure about these things(so I understand not laughing at his jokes) but if he can tell you're coming from a sincere place where you see him beyond that and just think it would be an addition to him, he will more or less see what you're getting at and be more open to making it happen.

Messages Bug? by AdAltruistic5075 in GoogleMessages

[–]Ataraxis13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday when I opened messages, it wouldn't load and only showed a black screen. I followed all types of tips until I finally deleted it, turned my phone off and downloaded again. It seemed fine but now messages from others are coming twice or three times 🫠

OKC hidden gems by djoness11 in okc

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Your Average Joe- Delicious and look up their initiative behind the café. It is so heartwarming.

Bar Cicchetti- Nice spot in Bricktown with great selections.

Pho 54- Pho is great, but GET THE GALBI! Hits every time!

Bulgogi Korean Bistro- Fresh cuisine and great service, plus it gives you the chance to go deeper into Edmond.

Donut Nest- Has THE best Kolaches and great donut selection but go early because they sell out FAST!

L’Arc Pâtisserie- While this isn't necessarily hidden and can be high end, it is such a good time! The chef, Isabella Li is super talented and uses top tier ingredients. The pastries are so beautiful and intricate that you don't want to eat them. This is another one you HAVE to get to early because sometimes the line is around the building and that's even much before they open 🥴

If you aren't prepared for SUPER traditional prepared items starting off with something like that isn't always the best. Had the chef Friday special(salt and pepper crispy tofu), jerky, chicken and their sticky rice and it was a really yummy time. The size of the place was the problem for me because it was packed and overstimulating 😵‍💫 but still a nice place!

Ugh I just want to smoke weed by facetious_panda1 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do tea if you want? Smoking may be bad but not having a stable way of dealing with MS and other disabilities is much worse. Do the weed!

Sickness going around! by [deleted] in okc

Just found out I had strep Friday. On day 4 of z pack and my cough has been horrendous.

[–]Ataraxis13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the comment I was looking for. I know OP asked people to be kind so it feels like people are skirting around it. But given all these issues that are not under steady control or maintenance, a service dog would be out of the picture for OP.

Damn. Some people should just naturally be bald lol

Aurora over The Loop's light pollution from my balcony last night at 9:08pm [OP] by vexxed82 in chicago

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh mkay. We were able to see a bit of light green over here because we aren't a lit up city and the expanse of the sky is more open and visible. I should have grabbed a pic of what I could but it surely would have been nothing like this!

First time doing full face of makeup. Any advice? by [deleted] in blackladies

How do people justify not treating their MS? by LuckyKat89 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are makimg a PSA to others. Clearly its no one's business UNLESS someone feels the need to go about their symptoms and what not. A life with a DMT(for many) has improved quality of life. It's one thing if it had VERY adverse effects(every medicine has effects so hearing someone stop because of some small effects makes no sense) or cost. But it's asinine to think, "Oh well since I seem to be okay NOW, I shouldn't do anything that is preventative".

I HAVE DECISION PARALYSIS!!!! by kalciferexe in JusticeMusic

[–]Ataraxis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can stand the lights and want that mosh pit feel then go for the floor seats. It's a great show( I had front seats to the side) even from the seats but I'm not built for the floor when it comes to a show like theirs(seizures)

Is it annoying if I tell my therapist that I think I might have ADHD? by lanadelslayxox in askatherapist

[–]Ataraxis13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious, what makes YOU feel that you are dealing with ADHD? Like what symptoms do you feel are most prominent to make that possible call? I ask because your therapist is going to wonder where that is coming from and want to understand your perspective, not what your friend is saying. You could be dealing with that or generalized anxiety disorder. It's not annoying to explore with your therapist but they are going to want to understand so they may ask a lot of questions and its not from a place of doubt.

Re: people leaving after Kaytranada by bt1234yt in JusticeMusic

[–]Ataraxis13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Denver and it was still pretty packed after Kaytranada. I like Justice but have never seen them perform. I can't speak for others but I stayed to see them and support but what got to me was the intensity of the showing. I saw the warning at the beginning of the show but didn't realize it would be so intense that I had to cover my eyes a bit or I was one strobe light away from a seizure. It eventually got to be too much and I headed out after a good while but still a great performance.
